GHDs
 

Anyone know of any places that repair hair straighteners. Got a pair of GHDs and there's something wrong with the wire, don't know any thing about electrics so not even going there. Thanks

What is wrong with the wire?

Re: GHDs
 

hiya, how old are they cos if they are under a year old, I think i have the number and they will replace them

Re: GHDs
 

buy new ones on ebay. lol

Re: GHDs
 

Only come to see what GHD's were :D

Is the wire broken where it goes into the appliance?
Mrs H is always doing it with the hair dryer, just needs taking apart and the wire cutting back a bit and putting back in.
In our case its caused by her wrapping the wire too tightly round the dryer when shes putting it away, it kinks the wire and eventually breaks it

Re: GHDs
 

The GHDs are about 18months old. For about a week have had to twiddle the wire to get them to work (i know i should have stopped using them), this morning they sparked so won't use them now. It is the wire end that goes into the straighteners, but that part is moulded. If it was the plug there would be no problem.

Don't want to have to buy new ones with it been so close to Christmas, Jae.

Re: GHDs
 

Yeah, thats the problem we get, the wire is broken, its easily fixed, just open the appliance, remove the wire, strip it back beyond the bad part then re-wire it back in

Re: GHDs
 

You can get KODO's on ebay for £20, just as good as GHD's

Re: GHDs
 

Does the wire rotate in the end of them or is it fixed?

Re: GHDs
 

It rotates.

Re: GHDs
 

Then you will struggle to get them repaired as you can't just shorten the wire. The end of the wire will be moulded into the bit that allows it to swivel.

Re: GHDs
 

Just cut it off and put a glad on from something else then, there easily available :)

Re: GHDs
 

get a new one

Re: GHDs
 

£100+ for GHD's and when you look inside they are the same crap made rubbish as the rest. And yes I have been inside and repaired GHD's before anyone asks

Re: GHDs
 

is that you volenteering to fix sara's??:D

Re: GHDs
 

Out of curiosity what model are they?
I have a broken pair of ghd SS2 which I am trying to fix. They have wide plates and one of the arms has snapped. If I can find someone selling a broken pair on ebay ‘which they do’ I’ll let you have the wire from it if yours are the same as these.

:)

Re: GHDs
 

hiya sara

you will probably get away with sending them back for repair. let me know if you want the address

Re: GHDs
 

I dread to think what you are trying to straighten with them :rolleyes::D

Re: GHDs
 

if they are a MK4 set then you have a 24month warrenty on them, if not i would buy a new set or some cheap ones till you can afford a new set

Re: GHDs
 

Just had a look at the model jackyalex and it's 3.1b. So no luck there.

Sounds like they're different ones Len, the plates aren't that wide.

Have found someone on the net, who charges £18. Got the name from a forum site, and he has had some decent reviews.

Thanks to everyone.
